About the Task Force . . .

The American mathematics metadata task force is a national group associated with the AMS, MAA, and SIAM. Its goal is to develop and maintain metadata standards for electronically available mathematical resources. Among the intended applications of such metadata are:

• enabling teachers and students to find material suitable to specific educational needs and levels of mathematical attainment
• enabling more effective storage and retrieval of professional publications
• enabling interactive mathematics

The American task force is linked to the international Mathematics Metadata Task Force established by the technical advisory board of the International Mathematical Union Committee on Electronic Information and Communication. It is also is working on subject classifications appropriate to the American school system in conjunction with several relevant digital libraries. The American task force is using metadata based on IMS and IEEE Learning Technology Task Force metadata standards.
